Hi both! I think I have a similar question. My meshes are scaled in meters, and when I compute the C2M distances I get a Mean Distance of 0.00001 (meters?) and a Standard Deviation of 0.000366 (meters?). But when I look at the histogram I see values that range between -0.0025 and 0.004 (meters?). On...

Thanks again :) So, the ideal way to proceed is choosing the "best" mesh and use it as reference, no?
Do you know why this process is not symmetrical?

Dear Daniel, I've come with new questions I hope you can help me with: - I've seen that if I run the "comparison workflow" (alignment, fine registration, and C2M distances) again with the same 2 meshes I obtain different results (mean distance and standard deviation). Why does this happen?...

Thank you very much for your reply, Daniel :)

I still have some doubts. How do you assess if your vertices are dense or not? And, what should I do with this new mesh? Calculate the M2C distances again?

Thanks again :)

Hi! I am fairly new with CC. I am trying to compare several .stl I've created with photogrammetry and structured light scanners, and I would like to see if CC is the right tool for me and for this, and how can I use it and understand the results. Here I attach an example. If I've correctly understoo...
